Sometimes you find one of those hole-in-the-wall gems where the food is so surprising and so good that you feel like making bold pronouncements when you leave.
I'm about to do that after two visits to Salween Thai, a new restaurant in a nondescript strip mall off Saddle Creek Road, where I found Thai dishes both familiar and adventurous all served with a remarkable depth of flavor and seasoning. I think it might be the best I've had in town.
Now, Salween, hire another waitress or two. You'll need the help.
Salween is where Juba, an African restaurant, used to be, though you wouldn't recognize the interior. Salween has a much nicer, more finished look, with a quiet atmosphere and modern tables and chairs. Grey carpet warms up the space and a television set adorns the back wall. A cracked glass screen sits in front of the entrance, blocking the view of the parking lot and Saddle Creek traffic. The staff, though small and sometimes slow, was friendly and helpful.
The menu at Salween is a mix of Thai standards — a variety of green, red and yellow curry and a few takes on pad thai — mixed in with some unusual choices that adventurous eaters will be into. (More on adventurous later.)
Our first visit began with fish cakes, an appetizer with an appealing flavor but a chewy texture that some might find off-putting.
I really liked the heavy dose of lemongrass and ginger in the cakes, which were mild with fish flavor. I liked the thinner version of sweet and sour sauce, too. What I didn't love was the slightly greasy finish and the tougher texture of the cakes, which I think is less a problem with cooking technique and more of a cultural preference. The American idea of ethnic food and Salween's menu collided a few times, though it wasn't always bad.
It happened again with the beef salad, an entree I ordered at the recommendation of our waitress.
Salween Thai Restaurant
Where: 1102 Northwest Radial
Phone: 402-884-5375
Hours: Monday through Saturday, 11 a.m. - 9 p.m. Closed Sunday.
Online: The restaurant doesn't have a website but has a Facebook page
About: Salween also operates a grocery store next door to the restaurant, which stocks Thai staples and other ethnic grocery store items.
Manager Thabwe Kin said her parents own the restaurant, and they are first-time restaurateurs.
Kin said she has lived in Omaha for about eight years and her parents have been here for five. Where: 1102 Northwest Radial
The menu has photos of each dish and the salad looked much better in real life than it did in the photos — this was true with almost everything we tried.
The salad, served at room temperature, was green with bits of basil, cilantro, mint and tangy kaffir lime leaves.
Peppercorns and red pepper flakes were scattered through the pile of thinly sliced meat. The spices and layers of flavor made up for a lack of dressing, as did the moistness and hint of acid from lime juice. The dish comes with a side of white rice.
Salween Thai's manager, Thabwe Kin, whose parents own the restaurant, said the chili in the beef salad is crushed dried chili.
It wasn't a "salad" in the American sense of the word, but that didn't make me like it any less. It was a satisfyingly spicy and surprisingly light meal.
My husband ordered his green curry with beef at level eight spicy — Salween spices its food on a scale of one to 10 — and the waitress urged him to lower it to a seven. I got my salad at a level five and it was spicier than I expected. It's safe to say that Salween's spice scale tends toward the hotter — next time, I will go down a number or two and unless you like things super-spicy, I'd recommend you do too.
Kin said the restaurant tries to keep its spice scale "authentic" to food in Thailand. Some customers have said the scale runs toward too spicy, so the staff tries to ask the person how spicy they like their food instead of always relying on the scale.
Some customers, especially those who are Thai or have been to Thailand, she said, want their food really spicy.
"They don't want it to be like other Thai restaurants here," she said.
Two glasses of creamy, cold Thai iced tea helped to put out the flame.
The green curry came in a huge bowl and smelled divine; a stir of the bowl exposed sliced meat along with zucchini, red and green peppers and an array of herbs and spices floating in the sauce. Each bite burst with flavor, and my husband commented that it tasted more nuanced than most Thai food we've eaten in Omaha. I agreed. Both my salad and his curry had layer upon layer of sweet, spicy and herbaceous flavors that made the meal fun to eat.
Prices at Salween are incredibly reasonable. The before-tip total for our first meal, which included two entrees, an appetizer and the two teas, was $25. The second, without the teas, was $20. It's almost criminal that food this good can be that cheap.
Service at Salween can be slow. We never saw more than two wait staff in the dining room at once, and on our first visit, when things got busy, we had to wait longer than I like to wait for our check and to-go boxes. On the first visit, our drinks came after the entrees.
The restaurant does a brisk trade for both seated diners and to-go orders, which might be part of the problem. Slowness aside, service is friendly and the waitresses were more than happy to answer questions and recommend dishes.
We got a bit more adventurous on our second visit, which started with the sausage ball appetizer.
What came to the table was a plate of meatball-sized brown balls that looked like nothing I had seen before. Inside a sausage casing was a filling of rice, garlic, peppery spices and a blend of transparent glass noodles and sticky rice. Though they tasted like meat, I couldn't see any meat inside the casing. The balls came with big chunks of cucumber, whole green and red peppers and raw cabbage leaves that I wasn't sure how to eat.
Kin told me that diners are supposed to take the sausage ball with accompaniments and eat it in a lettuce leaf, or in this case, a cabbage leaf. It would have been much tastier to eat that way, as a sort of modified lettuce wrap. Instead, though, I ate the sausage balls alone with a fork and left the vegetables behind. Call it a case of user error.
She said there is ground pork in the balls, along with soy sauce, salt, vermicelli noodles and Jasmine rice.
My husband tried the pork and vegetables served with noodles, which got tastier with each bite.
Buttery, rich pork belly and its crispy skin, all cooked nicely, meshed with crisp green vegetables, including zucchini, among others. The vegetables offset the rich fattiness of the meat, and a side of noodles soaked up a light sauce and more of the fat.
The crispy pork isn't the most adventurous thing on the menu at Salween, but it's more unusual than the basics, including their version of pad thai, which we tried with both beef and tofu. The pad thai at Salween wasn't too different from others I've had around Omaha, though I did appreciate a few things: the tenderness of the beef, the nicely seasoned tofu and the fact that the noodles didn't stick together in a big blob as they sometimes do.
I wanted to see just how far an adventurous eater could go on Salween's menu, and I found out when I asked our waitress for a soup recommendation. She urged me to try No. 25, "Boat Noodle Soup" or Nam Tok.
Nam Tok looked like Vietnamese pho in the photo on the menu but had one additional ingredient, the waitress said. Blood.
Yes. Blood. After a few minutes of internal debate, I went for it, figuring if nothing else it would make for an interesting story.
|The World-Herald gives you the best food Omaha has to offer in Food Prowl.
The soup was similar to pho, with its chunks of tender beef and chewier beef tendon, small meatballs, green onions and transparent noodles. Where it differed was the taste of the dark brown broth, which had an unusual depth that was richer than I expected and melded with the spiciness of chiles and pepper for an almost overwhelmingly savory flavor. As I dug deeper into the bowl, big pieces of cooked greens came to the surface. I have to be honest, though. The broth weirded me out a little bit.
The more I thought about it, the more I wondered: How was this different from eating the red-in-the-center steaks I've written about? Or the steak tartare I've tried a few times? Or even the medium rare hamburgers I've been known to wolf down? Not that different.
Kin laughed when I told her that I tried Nam Tok. She said the restaurant uses just a teaspoon or two of pork blood in the soup, which is combined with twice the amount of very hot water and herbs to take the raw taste away.
"It also kills the smell," she said.
The soup also can be made with beef blood, though Kin said that's much harder to find.
Salween Thai serves great food, and its most basic dishes — pad thai and curry — were done well. But it does more than just serve great food. It offers a challenging food experience, if you want one, that makes you think about flavors and spices and culture and most of all your own limits when it comes to the dinner table.

Eyeball Deviled Eggs
Freak out your friends with this spooky (and tasty!) snack. Ask for a parent's help before you start this project.
- 6 hard-boiled eggs
- 1/4 cup (.12 pints) mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon (5 milliliters) mustard
- Pinch of salt
- Green and red food coloring
- Sliced black olives
- Toothpicks
Peel the cooled eggs and slice them in half lengthwise. Scoop out the yolks into a bowl and mash them up. Mix in the mayonnaise, mustard, and salt. Stir in a few drops of green food coloring.
Spoon the mixture into the center of the egg halves. Place a slice of olive on top of each half. Dip a toothpick into red food coloring and then use it to draw lines on the eggs as shown. Now your eggs look like creepy eyeballs.

The Battle of Resaca
May 13-15, 1864
Gen. Joseph E. Johnston had withdrawn from Rocky Face Ridge to the hills around Resaca. On the 13th, the Union troops tested the Rebel lines to pinpoint their whereabouts. The next day full scale fighting occurred, and the Union troops were generally repulsed except on the Rebel right flank where Sherman did not fully exploit his advantage. On the 15th, the battle continued with no advantage to either side until Sherman sent a force across the Oostanula River, at Lay's Ferry, towards Johnston's railroad supply line. Unable to halt this Union movement, Johnston was forced to retire.

These arrived in a very timely manner. Wasn't quite sure how they would actually look, but I am very pleased. I will be buying more readers from here in the future.
Really love these. Can see clearly through the lens compared to other sunreaders I have purchased before. Very attractive too!
These glasses were in my second order. I loved all of the sunglasses in my first order and so wanted to order more. These are great!
The sunglasses are stylish and with the magnafication area make it easy to read outside. They work just like bifocals so you don't need reading glasses and sunglasses at the sime time. They are made of what seems to be durable plastic wll worth the price. Delivery was fast.

Belmont, MA -- A rarely used combination of magnetic fields generated with a conventional MRI scanner immediately and significantly improved the mood of subjects with bipolar disorder, according to researchers at McLean Hospital in Belmont, Mass.
"This is a very unusual MRI exam used for the first time in this study. We were surprised at our good fortune in discovering this effect and we are excited about the initial findings," says Michael Rohan, imaging physicist in McLean's Brain Imaging Center.
The study published in the January 1 issue of the American Journal of Psychiatry had a surprising start. Rohan explains, "We were using MRI to investigate the effectiveness of certain medications in bipolar patients and noticed that many came out of the MRI feeling much better than when they went in. We decided to investigate further."
Researchers theorized that one type of magnetic pulse they were using was having the positive effect. "This was purely accidental. We just happened to use this set of magnetic gradients, which we think somehow matches the natural firing rhythm of brain cells." Technically this kind of scan is called EP-MRSI, or Echo-Planar Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopic Imaging.
After realizing they may be observing a real effect, researchers expanded the study to include sham EP-MRSI scans with bipolar subjects, normal EP-MRSI scans in healthy subjects, in addition to EP-MRSI scans in bipolar subjects.
The results showed 23 out of 30 bipolar subjects who received the actual EP-MRSI tests reported mood improvement, indicating a 77 percent response rate. In addition, subjects who were not on medication showed even greater response (100 percent) compared to the response rate of those on medication (63 percent). These results were not seen in the other two groups, those with bipolar disorder receiving sham EP-MRSI and healthy individuals receiving EP-MRSI.
The authors note that one other test using electromagnetic energy has previously shown some positive effect in subjects with depression. This rTMS, or repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation test, was originally developed in the 1980s to test nerve function. It uses a magnetic device that is held next to the head. Studies using this treatment for depression typically result in a 40 percent to 50 percent response rate. However, the McLean authors note that this test uses a much stronger magnetic field that can be painful to the patient.
The magnetic field the McLean researchers are using is approximately 200 times weaker than rTMS and like a standard MRI, the patients feel nothing. Researchers are currently developing a tabletop device that delivers the precise magnetic field originally used in this study with the MRI scanner.
Downsizing the machinery is expected to prove more efficient and cost effective in the long run.
"We are also planning a much larger clinical study using this smaller device to further test this effect," adds Rohan. Researchers believe one day such a device may be used during perhaps a 20-minute nap at a doctor's office.
McLean Hospital is the largest psychiatric affiliate of Harvard Medical School and maintains the largest research program of any private psychiatric hospital in the U.S.

It seems there was lots of hype from May-November 2011 but now it all seems gone. Hell, there was a lot more hype than both years in 2010. It feels weird
It seems there was lots of hype from May-November 2011 but now it all seems gone. Hell, there was a lot more hype than both years in 2010. It feels weird
There was hype when they were actually filming it because we'd get these spy pics from people near the set. Now that filming is over, we have to wait until the official hype machine begins, which shouldn't be until May or June. I mean, it doesn't come out until July.
There's really nothing to talk about of late, there haven't been any new tidbits released that would generate any hype in a while...and that's pretty normal.
well personally I was hyped until I saw the first pics of bane and catwoman
but that was around last summer so I haven't really been hyped since then
Grandparents dead - please no jokes
make mine DC, thanks
There's nothing to talk about. We've discussed everything we already know to death already.
Hahah so true FHIZ. Anyways , is it me or did they take Kinghtfall banes personality and put in TKDR
It is still the most anticipated movie of this year.
They should focus their advertising campaign on Catwoman. We had them promoting Bane, now it's her turn. Can't wait to see darling Anne Hathaway as a bad girl.
I'm kinda sad to say that I'm looking forward to Avengers more. TDK, whilst good, was a pretty much just an action movie, with some outright terrible dialogue at times. I don't even like any of the Avengers characters much, I've seen no Marvel non-Xmen or Spiderman film, and it still looks groovier.
I would like to say for the record that this is the FIRST TIME I've withheld dong when someone was so desperately asking for some.
Brian C Wood
Think you have it bad? I still have to wait another 6 months before I can legally mention what I know about the movie. >.<
But wasn't there another supposed to be another trailer released in March?

Flawless traps exceptions and then uses git blame to send an email to the developer who wrote the buggy code. Even if a particular line of code causes thousands of exceptions, only one email will be sent. It uses git-blame to figure out which developer is responsible for a particular exception, and will only email that developer. If you set report_only_after_minimum_date, then Flawless will only report exceptions caused by code modified after report_only_after_minimum_date.

autodl-irssi is an advanced and easy to use torrent file downloader plugin for Irssi. The optional ruTorrent plugin (GUI) makes it even easier to use. The installer will set everything up. It works by connecting to your torrent tracker's IRC announce channel. You tell it exactly which IRC servers and channels to connect to and it does the rest. When a new torrent is announced, and matches one of the user filters, it's immediately downloaded. There's no delay like RSS, which polls once every 5-15 minutes. Once downloaded, the torrent file can be saved to a torrent client watch directory, sent to rtorrent, or uploaded to an FTP server. It supports more than 70 private trackers, and it's very easy to add your own if you know some basic XML and regular expressions. The filters are easy to set up, but also advanced. Some of the filters are release name, TV show name, torrent size, resolution, encoder, source, year, format, bitrate, medium, category, and many more. To prevent you from accidentally downloading too many files at once, you can also tell it to only allow X number of downloads per day, week, or month.

I enjoyed visited Cologne, however I'm not sure I would have enjoyed it as much if I hadn't had a local guide to show me around. I usually like walking around cities on my own but when I tried this in Cologne I couldn't find any of the cool bars or attractions. Maybe it was just bad luck on my part! However, once I made a local friend via Couchsurfing, he kindly showed me lots of very cool bars, cafes, parks and other hidden treasures. Definitely a nice place to visit for a couple of days.
Insider Tip:If you are looking for a cool bar, try opening doors covered in graffiti in the street that look like they belong to abandoned buildings. We found several unofficial bars this way! Also, 'Arty Farty' is a great bar/gallery to have a drink and a dance in.

David Turner talks 2012 bikes, confesses to an obsession with 'cross racing, officially puts a fork in the long-awaited RFX (for now), alludes to carbon fiber project bikes ("not next year") and dishes some straight dope on "over-forking," Boost Valve shocks and the collaboration process with Dave Weagle.
What's been keeping you busy this off-season?
'Cross racing— I frigging love cyclocross. You can go hard for 40 minutes, as opposed to a mountain bike race where you're all out for the first three or four minutes, then you settle in and maybe after 15 minutes look around and start picking battles.
My wife and I have both been racing 'cross the last three seasons, sometimes three weekends a month, and then racing mountain bikes all spring. I quit training 20 years ago so it's been fun to get back at it again. Not just because of 'cross, but because I just got tired of being slow. I guess I'm finally looking at bike racing as fun again, instead of drudgery.
Then there's endurance racing—we're already scheduled for the Counting Coup, the Whiskey 50 and Idyllwild Spring Challenge, which in the old days would be just mountain bike racing, but by today's standards anything over 2 hours is ultra. I'd love to try something like the BC or Pisgah stage race, but it's hard to get the time.
Your boss won't give you the time off? Aren't you the boss?
People think our ragtag crew is bigger than it is, but we're just six people. I read these jackoffs sitting around in their underwear on the internet pontificating about 'I don't understand why Turner did this,'and 'Santa Cruz that,' or blah blah blah. People don't understand we are in a completely different realm—we don't have 18 different models or sell 30,000 units a year. If we did, I'd be talking to you right now on my cell phone from somewhere other than the office.
Are we going to see production Turner 'cross bikes in the lineup any time soon?
I get asked that all the time. As popular as Specialized is there's always a place for funky stuff. I just got a call from one of the CX magazine guys saying they want a bike to test. I built another prototype recently and it's got some neat features but it's not ready for prime time—they'd slay me in a test. Maybe in the spring.
How about the DW-Link RFX we've been hearing about for so long? Is that bike officially stillborn?
Yeah, it is. After multiple iterations and tens of thousands of dollars, the bike rode like a champ, but it was aborted. By the time we got the prices quoted a year ago it became a big financial No F'ing Way. So we spent a great deal of time getting it to the point where it was reasonable. We were pursuing it even after this year's trade show, through this fall. We went back and got the price more reasonable…but at the end of the day, it's an expensive bike for thrashers. We're talking a $2,500 to $2,700 frame price, for a bike someone's going to throw in the back of a shuttle truck and thrash on? That's just not going to happen, they're going to buy a Kona. We are a niche company and a niche market for sure, but we still have manufacturing hurdles.
But this is the truth: the latest-generation 5.Spot, with a 67.7 degree headtube angle and a BB that sits just under 13.5 [unweighted] is superior to any of the RFXs ever built. Most of the guys who wanted an RFX can ride a 5.Spot with a 36 or a Lyric and they won't be missing anything. I get emails all the time from people who have "over-forked," saying they had no idea [the 5.Spot] was so capable. We've fully condoned it.
How many generations of the DW-Link 5.Spot have there been?
After the first one came out in 2009, we made some big changes in 2010—a big geo change, we lowered the BB, slackened the headtube and made it tapered [steerer tube] compatible. The tube itself is straight, but it will take a fork with a tapered steer tube with a 44XX headeset, which also works with an AngleSet. For 2012 the 5.Spot gets [142x12] thru-axle dropouts and ISCG tabs. If geometry is the delineator we can call the new frames Version 2.5.
And the 5.Spot has been your best seller?
Up through 2011 it has been—it's hard to beat for it's class. We basically overproduced 5.spots for 2011 as we did not see the shift to 29rs coming, so we've really upped our orders on Sultans. (The next [shift] will be 650b. I've got a bike with 650b wheels that we're riding right now.) Trail-oriented 29ers are still the smallest part of the 29er clan—which is still dominated by short-travel or no-travel speedy guys—but for the early adopters of longer-travel 29ers, the Sultan is really a great trail bike, it weighs less and has more travel than some of the obese XC bikes it's up against. And for 2012 Sultans get the same changes as the 5.Spot: thru-axles and ISCG tabs.
Both bikes also get a new downtube design to accommodate a piggyback shock. All the bikes we sell come with Fox RP family shocks, and they'll fit a DHX Air, but anywhere from one to five years down the road a lot of guys will buy new shocks for their old frames. That new Monarch Plus is an amazing shock.
You held out on spec'ing Boost Valve RP23 rear shocks until just this season – why?
I thought it was harsh with our bikes. That initial resistance to movement was just too great for our suspension design. Fox came out last winter and we took them to the Blue Jay Loop on top of San Juan trail. I said, look, this is our test loop, and these rocks don't change much. After spending hours and hours trying out a whole bundle of shocks from the Fox truck, they went back and sent us a few custom-tuned Boost Valve shocks a few months later. We wrote a code for each one on an index card and went out and rode them with tools and extra shocks in our packs. We didn't talk to each other until it was all done and in the end the best one was unanimous, and now we sell it as an upgrade.
I see you're running an online Super Sale on 2011 bikes—clearing room for new carbon projects?
I'm not against talking about it but there can be no timeline. There are so many details that have to be done, and not knowing what those are, we have to do everything twice. We'll paint ourselves into the corner with a particular feature and then learn, Oh, we can't do that, or Oh, our radiuses are too tight here. It's a lot of learning. It's fun, but it can also be frustrating. Carbon can be a real challenge for smaller guys. It's a lot of walking around in the dark looking for the light switch. We've been working on one model for 14 months now, and we're starting the next one right after Christmas. Both will be all new models, not replicas of current bikes, so hopefully they play well with their siblings.
Is Dave Weagle designing the suspension for the new carbon projects?
Like our other bikes, I give him the design matrix and he produces the kinematics. Along the way every couple of months I send him a file to get his feedback, and he'll say, "Eh, I don't like this," or "Yeah, I like that."
What's a "design matrix?" And what makes a Turner unique compared to a DW-Link Pivot, or an Ibis?
For us, it all comes down to the detailed information we give to Dave. That matrix of information is the backbone of each model's individual character. I write little stories for each bike—what it's supposed to do, what market it's aimed at. The matrix also includes what I want for the top tube lengths, head tube lengths, seat tube lengths and standover of each size to be, and also spec specifics like fork, headset, tires, disc size, axle type, etc, etc.
That's what makes each bike unique from the other models in the line, and from its DW-Link cousins from other brands. Each brand lays out a comprehensive design and pile of data that DW then inlays with suspension kinematics. The design of any frame is largely recreational art, and like all art, perception is the rule, and position dictates perception. So for some riders the feel [between brands] will be notably different, for others it will be hardly noticeable, and for some the specs printed on a page are most influential.
And that's all I know, and I'm not going to bullshit anyone. From there, it gets into physics, and Weagle is good at working with the math. He can tell you that all the cousins share similar anti-squat numbers, but the feel in the field has consistently been different, and that has to do with the chassis that the math is wrapped in.
He has to account for the specific points we lay out for our headtube, front and rear axle, diameters of the tires, BB height, chainstay length, and where the rider is sitting in relation to the rear wheel. And he gets it right down to the millimeter.
Is selling direct to consumers through the web site new for Turner?
It was new this year, and it helps. Because of the small size of our dealer network, the gaps are big. The shops that sell us the best are core mountain bike shops. Most of our dealers are guys that came from bigger shops, got fed up with the Big T, Big S, Bit G or Big C, and decided to do things their own way. I'm talking about the places that have one to three dogs, maybe a cat, two guys, a coffee machine and maybe a couch. These guys are more free-spirited, and to protect them we have had a practice of keeping online retailers to a minimum.
Unlike an online retailer, we won't sell a bike direct if there's a Turner shop nearby, where an online retailer will sell to you if you're three doors down from a Turner dealer. Still, we have vast areas with no brick-and-mortar presense, so those people can call Speedgoat or GoRide, or now they can call us.
Turner Bicycles has been turning out American-made full suspension mountain bikes since 1994, a few years after David Turner left the NORBA race circuit to start his own bike company. For a detailed history of the company check out its Web site here.

Jo Swindell has been decorating eggs since 1989, the first few years hand-painting with acrylics. In 1994 she began studying pysanka, a Ukrainian Easter egg decorating technique using a wax-resist method, to create simple objects of great beauty.
The pysanky process involves building the final egg design by applying multiple layers of hot wax and dyes and requires several days to complete.
The finished eggs are protected with a light coat of lacquer and have been blown to eliminate any possibility of spoilage.
This demonstration is FREE to the public.
Atlantic Center for the Arts features a contrast in color in "HUE", an exhibition by French born artist, Nathalie Chikhi. Works included in this exhibition, follow her fascination for simple arrangement and the application of repetitive methods.
"HUE" is the second exhibition within the newly createdalt_space gallery. The gallery name, short for alternative, was formed to feature Florida artists working in the genres of installation, emerging media and other non-traditional art forms.
Within this space, Chikhi will combine monochromatic wall drawings with a flamboyant floor installation. "These works are responsive to one another", explains Chikhi, "With a conceptual approach to lights and shadows, the flat works on paper seem to become 3 dimensional. The absence of color makes them even more quiet & abstract. At the opposite, some small arches, built using a wide array of raw colored paper, draw an energetic land."
Nathalie Chikhi was born in 1975 and raised in Quimper, Brittany, a town best known for its Quimper faïence pottery, produced there since 1690, using bold provincial designs of Jean-Baptiste Bousquet.
Nathalie now works in Sanford, Florida. She earned her Bachelor in Visual Communication from Le Paraclet, Quimper in 1996 and a degree in Interactive Multimedia from Les Gobelins, Paris in 1999. She has shown at many venues across the USA since 2006, including the Bakehouse Art Complex in Miami (2008), The MassMoca in North Adams, MA (2011), the Museum for Women Artists in Deland, FL (2011), UCF art gallery in Orlando (2012) and FSU gallery of Fine Art in Tallahassee (2012). She held her first solo show at Twelve 21, Orlando in Sept 2011. Her works 'Homage to Donald Judd", sculpture and painting were exhibited at Aqua during Art Basel Miami Beach, 2011. One of her painting, OPAD #1, was selected for the Nurture Art Annual Benefit 2012, in Brooklyn NY.
"We are excited to host Nathalie Chikhi in this new venue." says Meghan Martin, Atlantic Center for the Arts Community Arts and Exhibition Director, "Chikhi's floor installation combined with her wall pieces will be a sensory experience as well as transformative to the alt_space gallery.
The exhibition "HUE" will open with a reception on Saturday, Saturday, March 2, 4 – 7 pm. In Partnership with the New Smyrna Beach Downtown Music Festival and Marc Monteson Productions, William Perry Duo (keyboard and guitar) will be performing live during the opening. Nathalie Chikhi will be present for the reception.
This exhibition will run through April 20, 2013 and is free and open to the public. Atlantic Center for the Arts alt_space Gallery is located at 123 Douglas Street in New Smyrna Beach, FL. For details visit www.

Minecraft is the creation of a single Swedish man known to the gaming community as Notch. For some unknown reason, the game has suddenly exploded onto the spotlight in gaming sites and magazines across the world, yet a large number of people still don't know quite what it's all about. On the surface, it appears to be a pointless exploration game with retro, blocky visuals, and that's accurate to some degree. With its pixelated charm and incredibly large, procedurally generated worlds, one of the biggest allures of the game comes from just how much there is to discover and investigate.

AMES, Iowa – Japanese beetles first emerged around the end of May in some parts of Iowa. As populations increase, gardeners around the state are asking how to deal with these very hungry garden pests. Japanese beetle adults feed on a wide variety of plants. Iowa State University Extension and Outreach specialists answer questions concerning these difficult to control pests. To have additional questions answered, contact the experts at firstname.lastname@example.com or call 515-294-3108.
Control of Japanese beetles is difficult. Persistence, diligence and repeated efforts often are necessary because new beetles emerge every day over a period of several weeks.
Handpicking may be feasible when dealing with small beetle populations. Remove beetles early in the morning while temperatures are cool and the beetles are sluggish. Collect or shake beetles into a bucket of soapy water and discard.
It's also possible to protect roses and other high value plants from Japanese beetles by covering them with fine mesh netting or screening material. (Openings in the material should be less than one quarter inch.) Make sure there are no openings for the beetles to enter the enclosure.
Insecticides are another option. Spray roses with a garden insecticide, such as carbaryl (Sevin) or permethrin, to reduce damage for a few days. Repeated applications will be necessary to maintain control. Avoid spraying rose flowers, as many insecticides are toxic to bees.
In a word, NO. Several kinds of traps are available that use a floral scent and/or sex attractant to lure beetles into a net, jar or bag where the beetles can be contained till disposed of. In heavily-infested areas, traps may catch hundreds or thousands of beetles in the course of the summer. Unfortunately, this is a small percentage of the beetles in the area and makes no lasting impact on the beetle population or on the plant damage experienced.
The use of traps is not recommended. Research conducted in Kentucky and elsewhere found the traps do not control moderate to heavy infestations. The traps may attract more beetles than they catch and actually add more beetles to the yard than would occur otherwise.
In isolated locations far away from other Japanese beetle infestations, and in very lightly-infested areas, trapping may provide some benefit. Otherwise, traps will not make a difference.
In home gardens, small numbers of Japanese beetles can be controlled by handpicking. The best time to physically remove Japanese beetles is early morning when the beetles are sluggish. Collect or shake beetles into a bucket of soapy water and discard.
If handpicking is not feasible, applications of an insecticide, such as carbaryl (Sevin), malathion, or permethrin, can reduce Japanese beetle damage. Repeated applications will likely be necessary because of the short residual effect of the insecticides. Be sure to observe the harvest waiting interval when applying insecticides to grapes and other edible fruits.
Japanese beetles feed on more than 300 different plants. However, lindens are one of their favorites. Defoliation of well established, healthy lindens (and other trees) is usually not fatal. Defoliation is most harmful to recently planted trees (those planted in the last two or three years) and trees in poor health.
The foliage of recently planted and high-value trees can be protected with a soil-drench application of a systemic insecticide, such as imidacloprid (Bayer Advanced Tree and Shrub Insect Control and other products). To be effective, treatments must be made several weeks ahead of beetle emergence.
Japanese beetles are present for about six to eight weeks every summer. Adult beetles usually begin to emerge from the ground in mid-June and new adults continue to appear through July. Each beetle lives from 30 to 45 days.

My weeping cherry is almost leafless (Fruitland,IA)..what's left on it is brown & ate up..the beatles got to it b4 i sprayed it (it only took one day).....will it come back in the spring?
Even though Japanese beetles may defoliate a tree, they usually do not kill healthy, well-established trees.
While there is a good chance the tree will survive, the tree's status as to whether it is dead or alive wouldn't be truly known until spring.
Asian lady beetles and Japanese beetles are different insects.
The multicolored Asian lady beetle is 1/3 inch in length; dome-shaped; yellowish-orange to red with variable black spots on the back. Deep orange is the most common color. The 19 black spots may be faint or missing. There is a black "W" shaped mark on the thorax. The Asian lady beetle is common in late summer and fall.
Japanese beetles are 3/8 inch long and 1/4 inch wide. The head and thorax are shiny metallic green, and the wing covers are coppery red. The row of five tufts of white hairs on each side of the abdomen is a distinguishing feature. Japanese beetles are present from mid-June to early August.
I have a Fig Tree that gets demolished from the Asian Beetles & I found that putting an empty 2 litter bottle (with 2 in.'s from the top cut & turned up side down reattached with heavy tape) filled with over ripened banana's help to catch most.....but I need a couple ducks or Chickens, I guess, to dig up the Large looking cut worms that turn into these nasty pests.

Porthcawl was originally a port for the iron and steel industries and still has some interesting features from that period including the oldest maritime warehouse in Wales, an attractive harbour and the last coal and gas powered lighthouse in Wales.
In the late nineteenth and early twentieth century it was transformed into an attractive seaside resort which continues to delight the visitor. At the western end of the resort is the world famous Royal Porthcawl golf course, the finest course in Wales and one of several courses in the area. A rocky promontory with spectacular sea views separates the golf course from the main part of the town including the harbour and the expansive sandy beach to the east.
Coney Beach, a fairground with a variety of rides and amusements was named as a tribute to the famous New York amusement park on Coney Island. The town has an attractive high street with numerous shops and the fascinating Grand Pavilion offers theatre and a pleasant bar. There is good bathing from several beaches and the Atlantic swell ensures there is often excellent surfing.
Nearby Bridgend offers additional shops and a cinema. In the summer, Porthcawl hosts several festivals including the annual Porthcawl Carnival, Sea Festival, Porthcawl International Jazz Festival and Wales' biggest Celtic Festival of music and dance.
Porthcawl is surrounded by places of natural beauty including Kenfig National Nature Reserve, one of the most impressive conservation areas in Britain. Porthcawl is just 20 miles from Swansea and 35 miles from Cardiff, making it a superb location from which to explore the rich history and breathtaking beauty of south Wales.
Porthcawl's town centre is mostly pedestrianised and enjoys a good range of shops, restaurants and cafés. At its seaward end lies the famous Grand Pavilion, Porthcawl's popular seafront theatre, with its octagonal dome and striking frontage.
Sandy Bay and Trecco Bay are both backed by the Coney Beach Pleasure Park, whilst the quieter Rest Bay boasts a European Blue Flag award. Visitors to Porthcawl's beaches will find plenty on offer, including yachting, kayaking, surfing, scuba diving, windsurfing and kite surfing, a local speciality.

Prof. Rafael Moure-Eraso was nominated by President Obama and then confirmed by the Senate on June 23 to chair the U.S. Chemical Safety Board, an agency charged with investigating industrial chemical accidents. A member of the faculty at UMass Lowell for 22 years, Moure-Eraso will lead the investigation, as requested by Congress, of the causes of the accidental chemical release that destroyed the Deepwater Horizon rig in the Gulf of Mexico on April 20, which killed 11 workers and injured 17 others. "I appreciate this important role as chairman because the mission of the Chemical Safety Board to investigate root causes of chemical accidents to prevent future incidents, really sums up my life's work."
